Role Posting Log in to save

As a Hardware System Validation Engineer, you will join the system validation team within Hardware Engineering to validate the system-level performance of Apple SoCs and key modules like cameras, displays, and sensors in environments mirroring real product use. You will collaborate with functional test writers to define validation plans for IP blocks, execute system tests using scripts and automation frameworks across various PVT corners, and serve as a first-line debugger to triage and isolate failures. Your work involves characterizing functional voltages, developing new test methodologies for optical or computer-vision based testing, and applying AI/ML techniques for data mining and anomaly detection. You will utilize Python, Lua, Shell scripting, C++, and lab equipment like oscilloscopes while addressing complex hardware architecture, SoC integration, and industry standards such as USB, PCIe, and DDR.
